Fully‐Printed Bimodal E‐Textiles with Synchronized Temperature‐Pressure Sensing for Next‐Generation Adaptive Wearables
Abstract
ABSTRACT The growing demand for integrated temperature‐pressure sensing in human‐machine interaction and health monitoring makes smart textiles an ideal medium due to their comfort, breathability, and flexibility. However, a key challenge is finding a reliable method to integrate high‐performance dual‐mode sensors into textile substrates while ensuring effective signal decoupling. Herein, a flexible, ultrathin, and signal‐decoupled temperature‐pressure dual‐mode sensing electronic textile is proposed. The resistive temperature sensing unit utilizes a multi‐stage phase transition mechanism to achieve an ultrahigh temperature coefficient of resistance (up to 125.9%/°C) and a broad temperature sensing range (0°C–50°C). The capacitive pressure sensing unit exhibits high sensitivity (up to 62.3 kPa −1 ) and rapid pressure response and recovery times (30 ms/60 ms). By integrating machine learning algorithms, precise recognition of different objects being grasped is achieved. Furthermore, through the fabrication of a sensor array, spatial mapping of pressure and temperature distributions on a simulated body surface is successfully realized, offering a promising route toward developing versatile health‐monitoring platforms.
